Our work with three different Chhau traditions has been a constant part of Banglanatak dot com’s Heritage4Prosperity initiative.

As part of this ongoing journey, we recently concluded Advanced Workshops on Manbhum Chhau across two locations in Jharkhand, bringing together practitioners for intensive training and practice.

📍 Nimdih Gandhi Ashram | 7–10 September 2026 with 84 participants

📍 Choga Village | 12–15 September 2026 with 59 participants

At Nimdih, the workshop was led by Gurus Biren Kalindi, Nripen Sahis, and Bangshidhar Mahato. The workshop at Choga organised by Nataraj Kala Kendra, was led by Biren Kalindi and Bangshidhar Mahato, with support from theatre specialist Biplanu Moitra.

The workshops focused on the physical preparation of the body for Chhau, with rigorous exercises, movement practice and Pala rectification. Practitioners worked closely with the gurus to strengthen their technique, improve body control, and refine the physical vocabulary required for Manbhum Chhau.

From the green surroundings of Nimdih Gandhi Ashram to the community setting of Choga village, the workshops provided dedicated spaces for practitioners to train, practise and deepen their engagement with the tradition.

From everyday use to new possibilities. 🎋

In Kandsore and Chanpal villages near Rairangpur, Mayurbhanj, bamboo has always been part of everyday life. Artisans traditionally made baskets, storage items, and other household essentials using skills passed down through generations.

Today, as part of Banglanatak dot com's Heritage4Prosperity initiative, these same artisans are exploring new forms — creating contemporary products, décor and bamboo jewellery, and taking their work to exhibitions and wider markets.

The material remains the same. The knowledge continues. The possibilities are growing.

This World Bamboo Day, we celebrate their journey from traditional utility to contemporary craft.

This World Bamboo Day, let’s take a closer look at bamboo craft from West Bengal.

In Malda, West Bengal, bamboo is transformed into beautifully woven baskets and everyday objects, combining the simplicity of a natural material with the skill of the hands that work with it. Each piece is shaped through careful weaving, creating forms that are both functional and visually interesting.

Bamboo has long been part of everyday life across Bengal, used to make objects for the home, for storage and for daily use. What makes bamboo basketry special is the way artists work with the natural material to create different shapes, patterns and structures, turning something simple into something useful and beautiful.

At Flourish Hearth 2026, you can discover bamboo basketry from Malda with artist Srinath Tudu. It is a chance to see this craft up close, meet the artist behind them and take home something that carries the skill and character of its place of origin.
